| GET BOTH In need of a headphone amp, I read about Line 6 in BP magazine. I bought the Pod xt. I am disappointed that it doesn't offer an aux-in. The floor model does offer aux-in, , however it costs a lot more. Later, I read about Pandora PX4B in BP and bought near-mint unit from EBAY. As it has an aux-in, I nearly always use it first for practice. Also, the Pandora can use batteries, thus it is totally portable. Both units require high quality headphones, to avoid unwanted distortion. Both offer many usable features, as well as "cheezy" sounds, which I find unusable. I hear sounds in commercials that I recognize from both units. I have used both as "pre amps" in my amps. Both sound great live, however, the Line 6 is more user friendly for on-the-fly changes.
I haven't used either to near their respective capacities, like interfacing with computers. I have noticed that after playing for the last 2 or so years through headphones, that playing "live" feels foreign. Both units are great. To answer between the Pandora or Pod xt, however, I would choose Pandora for practice and Line 6 for performance.. Compared to a Line 6 floor model? ..I am torn. I really do enjoy both and would quickly replace either, if lost or stolen. ... Sonus6Man. |
